Engineering the embryo beyond Systems Biology

Our aim is to bring together scientists from different disciplines but with a shared interest in design principle of living systems, to discuss the possibility of engineering signal and transcription factor circuits to steer cells into particular lineages, tissues and organs in culture with the efficiency and precision of an organism.

Silence! I am trying to divide! Or of how gene regulatory mechanisms transit through mitosis

EMBO conference Tuberculosis 2016 Paris

The EMBO conference "Tuberculosis 2016: Interdisciplinary research on tuberculosis and pathogenic mycobacteria" to be held this year from 19-23 September in the CIS of the Institut Pasteur, will focus on new biological insights and scientific advances on tuberculosis-causing and related pathogenic mycobacteria, and how this knowledge might be used to cope with the enormous problems that pathogenic mycobacteria cause for millions of people today.

EMBO Workshop “Membrane Fusion in health and Disease”

The EMBO Workshop “Membrane Fusion in health and Disease” will cover all aspects of the membrane fusion in eukaryotic organisms. From fusion of organelles within cells, of vesicles with the plasma membrane to release neurotransmitters or other signals, fusion of enveloped viruses to infect a cell, all the way to fusion between cells during fertilisation or during organogenesis. Despite the wide range of processes involving membrane fusion, the molecular mechanisms by which dedicated proteins induce fusion are very similar.

EMBO Conference: Problems of Listeriosis ISOPOL XIX Conference

The bacterium Listeria monocytogenes is responsible for severe food-borne infections that affect immunocompromised individuals, new born babies, elderly and pregant women. Mortality due to listeriosis is still close to 30%. Contamination by this organism leads to food recalls from the market. Listeria is also of veterinary imortance. Strikingly, three decades of molecular, and cellular studies have in addition raised Listeria among the best models in infection biology.
